Motorsports, travel, and random photos from around the world. Rally driver, car #91 in ARA National L2WD. Life is too short to just sit around and wait.

This is so trippy as the sun starts to set.

If I remember correctly, this was the start of the path.

Fushimi Inari base

The large area before you begin the hike. What a site!

Far flung Tokyo

While staying in Takadanobaba, we took the odd train line (the Seibuu line) to the outskirts to see where it'd go. Nothing too remarkable, but good photo opportunities for slice-of-life pieces.

Back streets of 'Baba

We stayed here briefly while hopping around apartment-hunting. Fun area to roam.

Top of the mountain

We wound up having to quickly leave this area, for some reason.

A famous torii on the water

Way more crowded than you'd expect, but it does make for a great photo.

Snow in Ginza

A rare late-winter snowstorm in Ginza. I remember how nice this felt; snow always relaxes me and it was a pretty stressful period of life, with visa issues, apartment hunting woes and general startup hell.

Traffic weaving through the streets of Tokyo.

View from the office... bar

I don't know if it's still there, but there used to be a quirky office themed bar in Omotesando - and no, not themed after the TV show. It was literally meant to be a gag about leaving your job to go drink in another office (I guess?). The view was great, looking right out into Omotesando streets.

A glowing payphone

This alley was pretty dark, but the phone booth was lit up like the sun. So odd.
